How accommodating are your peers and your company in general about prayer? While mine allows for short breaks, I've noticed some colleagues and managers seem uncomfortable or uncertain when I break out for Namaz. Do I need to worry about making them understand and fostering inclusivity, or should I just continue doing what's important to me? I just worry too much about making them feel awkward or disrupting their workflow.

If you've already made clear what you use your breaks for, I don't think you need to make any more attempts at explaining yourself. They can look at you funny all they want. I think you should just continue practicing without worrying too much about what they think.

I wouldn’t trip too much. Don’t need to explain anything, just go take a break when you need. They allow people to go for cigarette breaks like 10 times a day. Just for the sake of keeping things uncomplicated I wouldn’t even really bring up that you’re praying unless you may have a Muslim manager or senior manager.

Extremely accommodating and respectful about it

I only block my calendar for Friday prayer (at the mosque), and let my team know that I am not reachable at that slot bc of prayer
Rest of days/prayers I do it without letting them know, I mean they are equivalent to smoking breaks, coffee chats etc...
No need for justification or explanation there imo
I do that either in a prayer room next to my office or in meeting room / box for calls

Hi Fishes

I gave google silicon interview all 4 rounds 3+ months back, from then they are saying they want to hire me but headcount approval is not yet received.

Post that they didn't call back itself, they have stopped responding also.

Has anybody faced this issue? This I feel completely unprofessional and not really expected from Google.

Thanks
